The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Fleet Week

The Experience:

The skies are alive, with the sound of…the Royal Canadian Air Force!

Even without the Blue Angels, the skies above Alameda are about to get wild: the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds are flying this year, and Faction’s got one of the best views in the Bay.

They’re opening early Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am for Fleet Week! Grab a beer, kick back on the patio, and watch the show from their taproom with three food trucks on site, sunshine overhead, and cold craft beer flowing all weekend. The crew down at Faction wants you to join them and soak up some sunshine while watching the skies go wild.

Food truck lineup:
Saturday: Knee Baby’z Eatery | World Famous Hotboys | Pacific Fine Foods
Sunday: Fist of Flour Pizza | World Famous Hotboys | Pacific Fine Foods

The Experience:

Your new trail to table hangout!

Be part of the excitement at the foot of Mt Tam! From the welcoming front doors to a cozy dining room built for neighbors and friends, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a cold pint and a bite to eat.

Restaurateur Bill Higgins and East Brother Beer Co. have created Mill Valley’s newest gathering place—a lively restaurant, sports bar and beer garden where craft, comfort and community meet.

Chef Michael Siegel’s menu pairs with every pint and cocktail: Bavarian pretzels, bratwurst and schnitzel, beer-battered fish & chips, smashburgers, crisp salads and wood-fired pizzas.

10–15 rotating taps highlight German and English-style brews, in addition to light Bo Pils and Mexican Lagers, rich Oatmeal Stouts, hoppy IPAs and dark Bavarian lagers. A full bar offers a selection of classic cocktails with a twist. Big screen TVs throughout the space make it the perfect spot to catch the game with friends.

Whether you’re craving a casual night out, a hearty meal or a perfectly poured beer after a day on the Dipsea, Bootjack or Tennessee Valley trails—Tam Tavern is here to be Mill Valley’s new trail-to-table hangout. Located at 152 Shoreline Highway in Mill Valley.

Congrats, East Brother!

HOURS: Sunday10am- 9pm; Monday – Thursday 4-9pm; Friday – 4-10pm; Saturday – 12-10pm. Happy Hour: Mon – Fri 4-6pm

The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co. SF Taproom

The Experience:

Your new go-to – the Rec Room!

It’s your new after-work ritual. Pull up a chair, settle in and sip classic-style beer with friends, The Rec Room is the place to unwind.

“With more than 3,000 square feet fronting the grassy landscape that is Yerba Buena Gardens, it offers 15 or so beers, along with board games, darts, and pool — like a fun suburban basement, but with way more taps.” The San Francisco Standard

The Rec Room is located in the Metreon in San Francisco at Fourth & Mission.

East Brother Beer Co. also just opened Tam Tavern in Mill Valley! Three spaces. One East Brother experience. Always built on tradition, craft, and community.

“Your support reminds us every day that doing something well, with patience and care, still matters,” comments co-owner Rob Lightner. “Because of you, we are here. And because of you, we have grown.”

The Experience:

A letter from the heart and soul

“From the start, our mission has been clear. Brew classic styles with quiet precision. Honor tradition while raising the bar for quality. Create spaces where beer speaks for itself and community comes first.

“That mission has guided every step we have taken, and it is the reason we grow carefully and deliberately. We do not open new spaces to chase growth. We open them when they allow us to live our values more fully and connect with the communities we care about most.

We would not be here without you. Our Richmond community. Our friends across the Bay. Everyone who has stood with us as we stayed true to brewing classic beer without shortcuts.

“Your support reminds us every day that doing something well, with patience and care, still matters. Because of you, we are here. And because of you, we are ready to grow.

“This September we will open two new locations: The Rec Room in San Francisco and Tam Tavern in Mill Valley. Each one reflects a different part of who we are, yet all are tied to the same ethos that began in Richmond. Classic beer, brewed with care, served in spaces built for connection.

“Three spaces. One East Brother experience. Always built on tradition, craft, and community.”
